Multilayer ceramic capacitors
MLSC; X7R
Chip
General
The MLSC was developed for typical applications with a direct connection to the battery or gener-
ator in the automobile, as it satisfies the requirements of the automobile manufacturers for a se-
ries connection of two capacitors for battery applications in a single component.
It not only represents the only real alternative to the series connection of discrete capacitors, but
also offers advantages over these and other possible solutions, which contain only a single ca-
pacitor.
Compared with a series circuit made up of conventional ceramic capacitors, it allows the number
of components to be reduced. This reduces the space requirement on the circuit board and short-
ens the placement time. Because fewer components are used, the failure probability is additional-
ly reduced.
The MLSC is based on proven MLCC technology, but has a more rugged design. This technology
offers highest reliability (ppb rate) on the basis of long field experience. Both undamaged and typi-
cally cracked MLSCs are characterized by a high breakdown voltage and high ESD and pulse
strength.
It may be used at temperatures of up to 150
°C
with consideration of a voltage derating and with
brief temperature peaks of up to 175
°C
without electrical stressing.
The MLSC is also manufactured to the specifications of the ppb level assurance system, and a
bending strength of 2 mm is assured on the basis of the rigorous piezoelectric method.

Multilayer ceramic capacitors
MLSC; X7R
Features
Two series-connected ceramic capacitors in a
single component
The MLSC thus satisfies the requirements of the
automobile manufacturers for applications on the
battery / generator (e.g. clamp 30 or clamp 15)
in a single component.
Reduction of the effects of a
bending fracture
placement fracture
solder-shock crack
thanks to a lower probability of a short circuit.
Evaluation criteria: Insulation resistance >10 k after the following treatment
bending until crack
humidity tests (85
°C/85%
RH, rated voltage), 14 days
The breakdown voltage of MLSCs in the case of a typical bending crack is still greater than
five times the rated voltage.
Both undamaged and cracked MLSCs are capable of fulfilling the requirements to
ISO 7637 for 12 V automotive power systems, including load-dump and jump-start
requirements (24 V/1 h and 36 V/1 h).
Based on AEC-Q200 Rev-C
Applications
Automobile electronics
for direct connection to the car battery or generator
at positions with “stranding potential”
as RF filters in small motors (e.g. electrically operated windows)
Power electronics (e.g. DC/DC converters)
Smoothing capacitors (e.g. on the rechargeable battery in mobile equipment)
Cautions
A short circuit cannot be completely excluded. The use of MLSCs does not therefore result in
100% fail-safe operation, but in the event of a crack the probability of a short circuit can be
greatly reduced.
In the event of an untypical (bending) crack formation (e. g. double-sided crack or extreme
mounting crack) and other mechanical or thermal damage to the capacitor, the capacitor may
have a low ohmic state.
